			a frame duration of less than .10 seconds, the frame 
			durations will be set to .10 seconds automatically.
			
		3.04	If a Galaxy Pro Revolution and a GP3 are in the same group, 
			not all Display Tools will work.

		3.05	Current presentation in status view is not always correct
			for GPR type displays.

		3.06	Installing older versions (4.0-4.15) of Venus 1500 with a
			newer version installed will cause issues when running Venus
			1500.

		3.07	Display discovery does not properly find displays when
			running on Windows 8

		3.08	When performing an upgrade install, the system might be
			rebooted without notice.
	
	Content Studio:
		3.09	Non-Unicode TrueType fonts will not show Extended ASCII 
			characters correctly. Arial is a Unicode font that will
			display these characters correctly.  This occurs only for
			presentations created prior to Venus 1500 4.9.

		3.10	Date, time, and temperature fields inserted into a text 
			box may	not be sized to their max potential width.  This 
			results in text	either being cut off or displayed on the 
			next line within the text box.

		3.11	Outline or shadow depths of more than a pixel will be 
			truncated to one pixel for Galaxy and GalaxyPro displays 
			when all text within the text box is using a Venus font.  
			Text with TrueType fonts are not affected.

		3.12	Galaxy and GalaxyPro:  The spacing between characters when 
			using a Venus font with an outline is slightly less 
			when editing and previewing than what is finally shown on 
			the display.

		3.13	Galaxy and GalaxyPro: Text will not flash when the layout
			also has a video or scrolling text element.

		3.14	Galaxy and GalaxyPro: Time fields will not update 
			when the layout contains a scrolling text element.

		3.15	The degree symbol in temperature fields can appear as a 
			different character when changing TrueType fonts in 
			presentations created prior to Venus 1500 4.9.
		
		3.16	GalaxyProp Revolution and DMP-4060:  Previewing a presentation 
			before thumbnails have been loaded in the storyboard can cause 
			a thumbnail for a video to appear garbled or the video being 
			previewed can appear garbled.  If this occurs, re-open the 
			presentation and wait for the thumbnails to show before 
			previewing.

		3.17	The Venus 1500 installer may run when trying to import a 
			video.

		3.18	DMP-8060 -- When pausing a preview, a video element will not
			pause and continue playback.

		3.19	GalaxyPro Revolution, DMP-4060:  Characters from a Windows symbol 
			font such as Webdings or Wingdings will not show when sent to 
			the display.
